This historic red building, with the white horse and carriage, is a majestic landmark in the Pioneer Valley. It is widely recognized and admired for its Italianate architecture. The original house was built in 1861 by Robert Cooper. In the 1950's, it was purchased to become the Country Squire Furniture Shop. Over the course of five decades and numerous additions, the building grew to its current 14,000 square foot size. In 2012, the building was completely renovated and brought up to code with handicapped accessibility. Every effort was made to maintain the charm and character of the original design allowing the woodwork and details such as hardwood floors to remain. The walls in the common areas of the building have been offered as complimentary gallery space to the members of the Agawam Community Artists and Artisans.
